Saint Tikhon's Orthodox Theological Seminary

Saint Tikhon's Orthodox Theological Seminary (Russian: Свято-Тихоновская духовная семинария) is an Orthodox Christian seminary located in South Canaan Township, Wayne County, Pennsylvania.

In 1988, the Seminary was authorized by the Pennsylvania Department of Education to award the Master of Divinity (M.

In June 2004, the Seminary was granted accreditation by the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada.

The Greek Ministry of Education (GME) also affirmed that the Master of Divinity degree conferred by STS is equivalent to the first degree in Theology conferred by the Faculties of Theology in the Universities of Athens and Thessalonica, and therefore renders the holder eligible to pursue the graduate studies programs or the doctoral programs (Th.D.)

Moreover, by virtue of Greece's membership in the European Union (EU), the recognition of STS as an institution of higher theological learning, equal in status with the schools of theology in Greece, also extends to all schools and religious faculties of the universities within the EU's member states.
